Arden Serviced Residence

About Arden Serviced Residence

Arden is a freehold, 68-storey landmark tower rising 260m at One Bukit Senyum, in the heart of Johor Bahru City Centre — a joint venture between Astaka, the developer behind established JB landmarks The Astaka and ALIVA, and Kimlun, a publicly listed Malaysian construction company. The building was designed by GDP Architects, the same firm behind Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), and meets GBI Green Building standards with a fully glass curtain facade. Property management is handled by Knight Frank.

The entire tower holds only 618 units plus 4 commercial lots on 1.73 acres of freehold land — a deliberately low unit count for a building this tall, split across a Low Zone (Level 10-37) and High Zone (Level 38-67). Arden sits 600m from the RTS Bukit Chagar station, which connects directly into Singapore's Woodlands North MRT in around 5 minutes, and roughly 800m from the CIQ (Customs, Immigration and Quarantine) complex.

Key highlights

• Designed by GDP Architects — the firm behind Pavilion KL and TRX — as a genuinely low-density landmark with only 618 units across 68 floors
• Freehold, at One Bukit Senyum, 600m from the RTS Bukit Chagar station and 800m from the CIQ complex
• Unusually large unit sizes for Johor Bahru (797-1,700 sq ft) — most new JB projects are smaller, higher-density units
• Over 47 facilities spread across 4 dedicated levels — L8 leisure & sports, L9 business & social (including a golf simulator), L50 sky lounge, and L68 sky garden with an infinity pool
• Astaka's Hotel Stay Management (HSM) model, operated with Naibnb, for owners who want a managed rental income option without giving up the right to stay in their own unit
• GBI Green Building certified, with a full glass curtain facade and urban green design elements

The HSM investment model, with Naibnb

Astaka's Hotel Stay Management (HSM) model, operated in partnership with Naibnb — a Malaysian short-term rental and homestay management company — is built around a "Flexible Stay" structure: owners get one-stop rental management (renovation, operations and profit-sharing) while retaining the right to stay in their own unit whenever they choose. Contact us via WhatsApp if you want the full rental management terms — actual rental income depends on unit, floor and market conditions at handover.

Location: One Bukit Senyum, 600m from the RTS

Arden sits within One Bukit Senyum, an integrated masterplan in Johor Bahru City Centre that also includes a lifestyle shopping mall, a 5-star hotel and branded residences. The RTS Bukit Chagar station is roughly 600m away, connecting directly into Singapore's Woodlands North MRT station — and the CIQ (Customs, Immigration and Quarantine) complex is about 800m away.
